Types of Bed Linen
Cotton - From the seed pod of the cotton plant, creates a cool, absorbent and versatile fabric.
Percale Cotton - Usually has a thread count of 200 or over with a noticeably tighter weave than plain cotton sheets. Percale fabric is firm and smooth with no gloss. It is also easy to care for, requiring little or no ironing. They also dry more quickly than cotton, which is useful for busy lifestyles.
Egyptian Cotton - Made from fine, 100% Egyptian combed cotton, and is of the finest quality.
Sateen - Usually made of cotton, the fabric has a sheen to the surface and a softer feel.
Silk - Naturally hypoallergenic and, being a natural fibre, is excellent for keeping warm in the Winter and cool in the Summer. Silk is also said to be beneficial to the condition of your hair and skin.
Linen - A natural fibre obtained from the flax plant, linen fibres are considered stronger and more lustrous than cotton. Linen is cool and absorbent.
Voile - A crisp, lightweight, cotton-like fabric, made with high-twist yarns that have a similar appearance to organza.

Thread Counts
Thread count denotes the number of threads per square inch and gives you a good indicator of the quality of the linen. The higher the thread count the softer and more lustrous the fabric, it's also more durable and less prone to shrinkage. The more popular cottons will be around 150TC, while higher quality sheets will start at 180TC. Any bed linen above 200TC brings you a more luxurious fabric quality.
Our ranges are available in various different thread counts, starting from around 180TC and going up to 600TC.
Caring for your Bed linen
